The motorcycle builder turned reality TV star is asked if he’s the most hated man in the country given that he cheated on Bullock, called America’s sweetheart.

“I think the most hated man in the world now,” he replies.

James even has the perfunctory moment where he cries during the interview and asks for a break.

The tattooed James had seemed a unlikely partner for Bullock but their marriage appeared to be a happy one for some six years.

Bullock emotionally thanked James when she won the Academy Award for her role in “The Blind Side” in March. But just days later news broke that James had cheated on her.

A stripper Michelle “Bombshell” McGee said she had an extended relationship with the James. Other women soon came forward.

Bullock went into hiding and James fled to sex rehab.

Then last month Bullock told People that she had adopted a baby, something she and James had planned to do together. She also disclosed that she had filed for divorce.

She told the magazine that she was “sad and scared” about the end of her marriage.

Bullock moved to New Orleans, where she was spotted recently, with the baby.

James told People, “Sandy is the love of my life. But considering the pain and devastation I have caused her, it would be selfish not to let her go. Right now, it is time for me to beat this addiction.”
